    We don't want to leave out Parthia, since it was so critical in the period. We're considering a clever solution that may make both Parthia and the to-be-added Graeco-Bactrian faction stay allied to the Seleucids until 250 BCE or so—see this thread (the discussion shifts from the Greek Cities to the issue at hand soon enough).

    My Girlfriend Studys Russian, and she has may history books on them, If needed I would be more than willing to research the kingdoms, armys, and tactics of european russia during this period. (Althogh I would be starting more or less from scratch I'm willing to put the effort in.)

    Feel free to PM me or just reply here. :Cheers:

    Russia didn't really exist during this period—the Sarmatians were the primary occupants of the Russian steppes. If you could research the Sarmatians, that would be fantastic; next to nothing is recorded in the sources most people are going to be using (Greek and Roman texts, mainly). Modern archaeological finds will probably be critical, and that's what we have the least access to. Of course, these findings will be more difficult for me to check up, but I think it will be worth it if we can learn about Sarmatians. If you decide to help us out, just give me your findings when you get them.
